Now, it sucks, but it was also almost laughable in its predictability.<BR/><BR/>Schilling's performance was not as eye-popping as Santana, but he was equally effective -- and threw fewer pitches. Why did he get pulled after 91? Strange.<BR/><BR/>Papelbon in the 9th and 10th made sense. He was at 22 pitches. Tie or no tie, I would have brought him out for the 11th.<BR/><BR/>Turns out Timlin was fine. 15 pitches. Probablty wise not to have him go a second inning right off the DL.<BR/><BR/>So we get Tavarez? I would have picked Delcarmen. And I sure would have had someone up after the HBP in case things got a bit more ugly, which they did.<BR/><BR/>Damn, what if that double didn't hop over the fence? Twins tie it, but maybe Tavaraez works out of it with a guy at 2nd and 1 out?<BR/><BR/>Bah. So we're tied with the Chokers and the Jays are 2 back.

Tavarez.If there was ever a guy who you ...Julian F. Tavarez.<BR/><BR/>If there was ever a guy who you would least want to have the rock to protect a one-run lead with the game on the line, would he be the one? At last count, GMs in CLE, SF, COL, PIT, CHC, FLA, and STL have previously said, "no thanks".<BR/><BR/>On a night when Schilling (and Santana) were lights out, and Papelbon was equally superb, Tito had a number of options at his disposal in the 12th, including a presumably well-rested Timlin. Instead, we get JFT.<BR/><BR/>Why Tavarez? Tonight's defeat in what was unquestionably one of the best pitched games in the majors all season was a crushing one, no two ways about it. However, like the joke about the guy who travels to some shit-hole Texas town ("It's not the end of the world, but you can see it from there"), we can't possibly hold off TOR and the MFY and compete for the AL if Tito puts Tavarez in another game and expects him to slam the door.<BR/><BR/>62 games down, 100 to go. Not the end of the world, but I'm afraid I might be able to see it from hereYaz-Texhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15895170931252124510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-1150257739321259432006-06-14T00:02:00.000-04:002006-06-14T00:02:00.000-04:00I HATE the way Taveras pitches...nasty pitch follo...I HATE the way Taveras pitches...nasty pitch followed by something going who-knows-where; wasted pitches after getting ahead, lengthy counts, then a meat-ball.

In addition, the club placed righthanded pitcher Keith Foulke on the 15-day disabled list (retroactive to June 12) with a right elbow tendinitis. Executive Vice President/General Manager Theo Epstein made the announcement.<BR/><BR/>Seems like Foulke's troubles went far beyond the "two bad pitches out of 38" as reported after his BPesque outing against TEX on Sunday. The earliest we would see him back with the team would be for the Jun 27-29 series with the Mets at Fenway.<BR/><BR/>Will Timlin come back strong or is he finally wearing down as some in this space have speculated? We need him in a big way....as big as I think Schill will be tonight against MIN and Santana.Yaz-Texhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15895170931252124510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-1150222409885599922006-06-13T14:13:00.000-04:002006-06-13T14:13:00.000-04:00big deal!! ;D*tremble*big deal!! ;D<BR/><BR/>*tremble*suzy luxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13884928730818923168noreply@blogger.com
